Certified Negotiation Expert LogoI spent last Thursday and Friday earning a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) Designation. In my opinion, negotiation skills are critical for Realtors. Home buyers tend to agree.

The 2008 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reports that 27% of home buyers said that what they wanted most from their Realtor was help negotiating the price or the terms of the sale. 83% of the buyers ranked Realtor negotiation skills as very important. However, only 71% were very satisfied with their Realtor’s negotiation skills.

If you’re considering buying a home in the Chicago area and would like to learn more about how I can help you negotiate the best price and terms for you, contact me.
